I used Tredz last yr for repairs on my ol Specialised hanger broke and a few other problems, never again though overpricedand poor service, they tell me lodge cycle services are good, but a few of my mates are pretty handy when it comes to repairs, also the cycle centre up in Tonmawr run bike repair classes. Which might be an idea.


I have heard good things about the shop at Lodge Cycle Centre seems a decent bloke, there is a new shop in Abbey Road, Port Talbot who used to do all the MTBs at Afan Argoed who is very good as well.

On the advice of DDCH I took my bike to Schmoos this morning. The gent there put a new front derailleur, new cable, new chain link, sorted so it all works and i bought a bottle and cage. All done while I waited and had a chat with the chap who is a smashing fellow.

All for £20.

What a brilliant service this is. I suggest using it as at that price it can't be beat.

My next job is to get out and about and I hope I can one day to the CARTEN100.

Glad to hear you had a similar experience to me. Always good to sing the praises of the small independent shops when they provide such an excellent service.

Sounds like you had a good experience there, don't know where you live but the cycle track from Swansea marina to Gowerton via Clyne Valley is a brilliant ride where you can start and stop where you like and is relatively flat.

Get ready for the BHF Gower bike ride this Summer as a target to aim for, I will sponsor you a tenner now to complete any distance

My first ride was on the 28 mile route on an old MTB with road tyres on it, it was really hard going but my mate dragged me around.

I will probably be doing it with a couple of friends as it is a charity close to heart (pun intended).

Get a just giving page up linked to the ride in your planet swans name if you want, I would hope that the majority of posters would sponsor you.

I know Jon really well he is a real character, he used to ride up Church Hill Baglan back to Cimla from work which is a good climb to be fair!
